Researchers Unearth Historical Findings at Gath, the Ancient Hometown of Goliath
By: Garrett Haley
Many historians and archaeologists believe the Tell es-Safi site is where the ancient Philistine city of Gath was located. Though experts are quick to point out that no “incontrovertible proof” of Tell es-Safi’s identity has been discovered, it is still the general consensus among most scholars, and the location is now commonly referred to as “Tell es-Safi/Gath.”

Shalom-Peace Angelina :)
There is more than one meaning to the name because a "Gath" is a winepress:



Likewise "Gath-shemeni" (winepress+olive oil) transliterated directly into Greek is "Gethsemane" :huh:
